[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't help your parents, don't be surprised if your kids don't help you.[/quote] Nope. If you don't help your *kids*, don't be surprised if your kids don't help you. Your parents, your kids' grandparents, are entirely different people. [/quote] If your kids don't see you model that behavior in your own life, they won't have it for you later. You at least need to display authentic care and concern for your aging parents. Most of DCUM has nothing but distain for their parents though from what you see on this board.[/quote] So any kids with no living grandparents will automatically never have compassion for their aging parents? Maybe try making an actual plausible argument if you're going to try and shame people for not being doormats :roll: [/quote] Kids will see you ignore your parents and may do same to you b/c you taught them it's ok... :roll: [/quote] The generational ellipses again, surprise, surprise. [/quote] Won't be a surprise when your kid(s) treat you exactly the way you did your parents. Good luck![/quote] Lady, I'm already old as dirt, and I couldn't ask to be treated more kindly. Some of us elders overuse ellipses instead of making our points clearly. It's a typographical diarrhea. I think they make a cream for that. :)[/quote]
